Forgot How To Love
(c) 2014 (mine)
Alright now can we stop all the madness?
Let the movie end and fade to the blackness?
All stand together and protect from the sadness,
Let our feelings go and forget all the past sh/t?
Try to fast forward to our future,
Better keep up or we'll lose ya,
Cuz ready or not it's coming to ya.
So hurry fast and last, don't go back to the past and be forgotten,
And don't let anyone hate on you just for wantin.
Somewhere along the way we forgot how to love,
An God above is shakin His head, eyes going red.
You can see it on His face that He's dreadin' all the dead an(d),
It's up to us to stop the bus and let people step on, instead of just movin on.
Can't get a good grip on this sh/t, we're slippin,
Can't we all just get along and chip in?
Hand in hand we can stop the war,
God forbid we turn a blind eye. And guns going off,
Blazing just to die, it's suicide.
13 and pregnant, the condom broke.
Tried to tell her mom but she thought it was a joke.
Wants to get an abortion but can't afford it,
It's dad's not in the picture to support it.
Her daddy knows he'll be a grandfather,
But still he couldn't be bothered to help his only daughter.
Flesh and blood don't run deep, stayin' up all night cuz she can't sleep.
With the little baby, unborn, kickin her kidney.
There's nowhere to go for help, she has no one cuz
Somewhere along the way we forgot how to love,
An God above is shakin His head, eyes going red.
You can see it on His face that He's dreadin' all the dead an(d),
It's up to us to stop the bus and let people step on, instead of just movin on.
Can't get a good grip on this sh/t, we're slippin,
Can't we all just get along and chip in?
Hand in hand we can stop the war,
God forbid we turn a blind eye. And guns going off,
Blazing just to die, it's suicide.
16 now and doin drugs,
When she was just 13 she forgot how to love.
Forgot how to feel, having to steal to give her babies a meal,
At the corner for a deal,
She says "15 dollars for an hour,
Another 6 for us two in a shower."
Pimpin herself out cuz she lost her faith,
Lost a taste for self worth.
And when she's found dead we say she got what she deserved cuz
Somewhere along the way we forgot how to love,
An God above is shakin his head, eyes going red.
You can see it on His face that He's dreadin' all the dead an(d),
It's up to us to stop the bus and let people step on, instead of just movin on.
Can't get a good grip on this sh/t, we're slippin,
Can't we all just get along and chip in?
Hand in hand we can stop the war,
God forbid we turn a blind eye. And guns going off,
Blazing just to die, it's suicide.
Just a kid, 7 years old, thinkin he's too grown up for home, it's hard to live.
But he's got a little sister who looks up to him,
So he can't give in.
He looks in her eyes and lies, says he'll try to survive for her.
Broken up family, just a drunk *ss granddad,
Still lookin up to a mom he never had.
No one to help him, we're too selfish,
Puts a quarter ina well tryina save a wish.
Shootin star across the sky, and he realizes,
Somewhere along the way we forgot how to love,
An God above is shakin His head, eyes going red.
You can see it on His face that He's dreadin' all the dead an(d),
It's up to us to stop the bus and let people step on, instead of just movin on.

Can't we all just get along and chip in?
Hand in hand we can stop the war,
God forbid we turn a blind eye. And guns going off,
Blazing just to die, it's suicide.
The girl is now looking down from heaven,
That girls little boy was only just seven, lost his mom.
Now his little sister lost her brother to a gun.
Just one word could have saved them,
They were a broken road and we just paved them,
Instead of tryin to understand where they came from.
A family destroyed and there's more like them,
But we're too stupid to learn from our mistakes, before it's too late.
And it's a shame cuz we never even bother to learn their names. We're the only ones to blame,
Haven't we let enough blood spill? How many more lives have to be killed for us to stand up?
When will enough be enough? And it's all because
Somewhere along the way we forgot how to love,
An God above is shakin His head, eyes going red.
You can see it on His face that He's dreadin' all the dead an(d),
It's up to us to stop the bus and let people step on, instead of just movin on.
Can't get a good grip on this sh/t, we're slippin,

And guns going off, Blazing just to die, it's suicide.
